A private sanctuary of rare scale and architectural significance, this extraordinary Donvale residence commands 5,891sqm of landscaped native grounds, delivering resort-style indulgence and unrivalled versatility in one of the area's most tightly held pockets. Backing onto Mullum Mullum Creek parkland and framed by nature's own amphitheatre, the residence is a statement of design, privacy, and prestige.
Approached via a sweeping driveway with space for 10 vehicles, the striking façade rises with double-storey columns, hinting at the drama within. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, bespoke glass-brick detailing, and two internal atriums bathe every space in light and greenery, creating a seamless connection between architecture and environment. The formal living was extended in 1988 by renowned architect Hank Romyn, who thoughtfully expanded the proportions while maintaining the home's architectural integrity. The home's ingenious circular flow leads to the gourmet granite kitchen, where a lofty ceiling and window splashback crown Miele appliances, wall oven, wall microwave/grill, five-burner cooktop, walk-in pantry, and abundant cabinetry.
Accommodation is as flexible as it is luxurious offering four bedrooms with three grand living zones. The main bedroom retreat is a private haven with a Coonara wood fireplace, walk-in robe, and ensuite gazing onto a tranquil courtyard. Further bathrooms include a skylit main with bath and a guest bathroom for post-pool refreshes.
Downstairs, a large rumpus room includes a dedicated study space and built in cabinetry, easily lending itself to be a generous 5th bedroom if desired.
Beyond the vast entertainer's deck, a heated pool and spa with cabana create an exclusive resort ambience, surrounded by kangaroos, parrots, and echidnas that frequent the grounds. Complemented by veggie planters, chicken coop, fire pit, and a 33,750L water tank, this is a property where lifestyle knows no bounds.
Prestigiously positioned within walking distance of Heatherdale Station and moments from Eastland, Eastlink, and Yarran Dheran Nature Reserve, and just 20 minutes from elite schools including Donvale Christian College, Whitefriars College, Carey Baptist Grammar (Donvale), Yarra Valley Grammar, and Luther College.
